Do you check our designs before printing?
Each design is carefully checked by our graphic design team.
When personalizing your invitation, our graphic design team systematically checks your design before printing, and also performs a check during the printing process to guarantee optimal results.
If you wish, you can receive a digital proof (BAT - Bon à tirer) before production begins. Simply request it.
We recommend ordering a sample copy delivered on an A4 sheet if you have any doubts about your layout.
For any specific layout, correction, or in-depth review requests, you can use the text box labeled "Leave a message or instructions for our graphic designer" on the customization page. Our team will take each of your instructions into account before final approval.
Create your print file
- Final format: Exact size of the document once cut
- Bleed: An area extending beyond the final size (4 mm on each side) to avoid white borders; this part will be trimmed after printing. It is represented in red on our configurator.
- Safety zone: Inner margin (approximately 5 mm) in which no text or important elements should be placed
- Front / Back: Front = first side / Back = second side of the printed document
